What low cost airlines to use in Asia? The Top 5

Nobody likes to spend too much money on flying.

Keep in mind, that all these airlines are good if you book a flight the normal way. If you change something like the flight route, flight date or have too much luggage they can all become a nuisance by charging extra fees. The top nuisance fee is the “spoiler fee” that is charged if you change a flight route (happened to me with Cebu Pacific).

Luggage tip: If you are unsure whether you will really need a flight, just book the flight first without any extras and then – once you are sure – book the extra luggage one or two weeks before the actual flight.

Air Asia, Malaysia

Why: This airline truly is the optimum between cheap prices and still good service. A personal favourite!

Bankrupt – Kingfisher, India

This airline is bankrupt and offers no services at the moment.
